Build a Dream Dynasty

On December 16, the Nets traveled to Philadelphia to face the 76ers. Curry, James and Harden ranked first, third and sixth in this season's MVP rankings. The direct conversation between the three MVP candidates has become the focus of today.

The Nets' starting lineup consists of point guard Curry, shooting guard Carter, small forward Aminu, power forward Dream Chaser Green, and center Lopez.

On the other side, the starting lineup of the 76ers is point guard Beverley, shooting guard Harden, small forward James, power forward Mirotic, and center Asik.

The combination of Mirotic and Asik has obvious problems with the defensive end of the mobility, and it is very likely that Curry will chase after the Nets' pick-and-roll. But Schneider still insists on his usual starting lineup, just want to use the regular season to test the lineup he built to face off against the Nets, how big the gap will be.

Whether it's James, who was overtaken by Curry in a big honor, or Harden, who was forever suppressed by Curry in the same rookie stroke, no matter how hard he tried, he has a strong desire to fight against the Nets. The two players that have caused the Nets the most trouble in the East over the past two seasons have been James and Harden, and now they're together, and Curry lost Leonard, which is their best opportunity.

Players on both sides jumped the ball in the middle, and Lopez narrowly beat Asik, ushering in the first move for the Nets.

After Curry held the ball over half court, he reached out and gestured, calling for the execution of tactics.

Carter, who was already standing at the three-point line in the left corner, immediately took action, ran around the bottom line, then pocketed out from the other side, and ran straight to the 45-degree angle outside the three-point line beside Curry. .

As soon as Carter was in place, Curry's ball was immediately delivered. Carter caught the ball, and a fake shot made him a little out of position. He could only choose Harden, who was flying to fill the position. He passed Harden with a low hand, and then made an easy mid-range shot.

Harden's top defense ability is OK, but off-ball defense has always been problematic. Carter is actually not a good player without the ball. He can still use his movement to get rid of Harden and create scoring opportunities. This loss of points hurt the morale of the 76ers.

Offensive and defensive transition, Harden dribbled the ball over half court, then skillfully handed the ball to James, and ran quickly to the bottom line to stretch the space.

The team's two superstars are relatively average without the ball. At this time, James, who has more seniority, must be in charge of the offensive end, and Harden's stronger shooting ability can also open up better offensive space for the team.

Thanks to Leonard's injury, Aminu, who was originally introduced as a bench player, became the Nets' main small forward. In training, the team's training of him was carried out in a 3D model. In training, he is completely practicing defense and three-pointers, and he has improved significantly in these two skills. Compared with last season's 27.5% shooting rate, the three-point shooting rate has increased by a full 6 percentage points, reaching one-third. one. In the face of James' defense, his winding defense also interfered with the opponent. Coupled with the inside line Lopez's supplementary defense, James was forced to send a pass. Beverley caught the ball and missed the shot, and then in the process of returning to defense, Beverley "unintentionally" pushed Curry down. The referee should have said something, but in the end, Beverley was let go.

Green advanced over half court, suddenly stopped the ball, faced Beverley's dipping ball behind him, and slammed past Beverley and threw Beverley directly to the ground. The key point is that Green still looks innocent.

Green's greatest strength with the Nets is that he can really protect Curry, by any means.

A technical foul, a ball transfer, and Harden cooperated with Mirotic. The latter made a mid-range shot from the free throw line and tied the score for the team. Mirotic has a lot of offensive scoring methods, and now James fans trumpet him better than Bosh.

The Nets really lack qualified offensive points other than Curry after Leonard was injured, which is why Stevens desperately needs JR Smith to play and reuse Porzingis. Lopez's defense is still tough, but the offense is really going in the direction of the pitcher. This was originally an adjustment for the team, but after Leonard's injury, it was a bit out of place.

Curry used the pick-and-roll to find an opportunity and missed a shot. Looking back, Harden and James completed the connection. James ran over the Nets defense like a tank, moved away from Green, and made an easy layup.

The ball returned to the Nets, and the team still played Carter. After using Curry's movement to open a little gap, Carter shot two points from the free throw line.

Harden used the pick-and-roll to get past Carter's defense, and at the same time used the change of rhythm to get past Green's back-up defense, rushing to the inside layup.

On the Nets side, Curry finally found a chance to make a 3-pointer while Beverley was still on the move.

After the pick-and-roll, James returned to Mirotic, who used his height advantage to hit a mid-range jumper.

In the first half of the first quarter, both sides had a high hit rate. The 76ers came to the last two minutes with a 29:24 advantage, and the two sides entered the rotation matchup.

So far this season, the Nets' proud bench has declined significantly, while the 76ers have made great progress. The gap between the two sides has been narrowed a lot. However, it originally seemed five to five. The situation that opened, but changed because of the outbreak of one person. Kyle O'Quinn, who was introduced to the Nets as a deal in JR Smith's trade, suddenly broke out on the court. He scored a basket, and then repeated his old tricks to score an offensive rebound and a layup again. O'Quinn, who was so excited, became more and more brave, hit another mid-range shot at will, and took great pains to stay on the team next season.

In 2 minutes, O'Quinn made 3 of 4 shots and scored 6 points, which unexpectedly helped the team to tie the score at 31 at the end of the first quarter~www.readwn.com~ All people are soldiers, anyone can do it Playing is the advantage of the Nets, and is regarded as the role played by O'Quinn outside the team's rotation. In the second quarter, Porzingis propped up the Nets' offense in the opening stages. On the other hand, the 76ers also have such a bench player, Australian Ingles. Unlike many people who judged as a soft, slow and accurate shooter just by looking at his face, Ingalls is not the kind of shooter who catches the ball and shoots. Although the shooting rate is very high, he is really not a pure shooter. On the contrary, he belongs to the playmaker with extremely high basketball IQ in the small forward position. It's more like Turkoglu without a big heart.

. James and Harden are both superstars that dominate the ball. When Ingles is in the two superstars, he is mainly a shooter. Only when he leads the bench can he really enjoy the opportunity to dominate the offensive end. It's not suitable for partnering with James and Harden, but who makes the cards smaller. In addition, Schneider is Ingalls' mentor. Without Schneider, Ingalls would not have been so easy to discover his talents.

The head coach likes him, James also needs a shooter to help open space, and Ingles has a solid position in the 76ers, although some of his talents are buried.

The firepower of the bench lineups of both sides was bright for a while, and when the main lineup returned to the court, the difference was only one point.
